Here’s a good plan. Don’t eat toothpaste.
So don’t swallow the toothpaste. Also, don’t drink listerine.
Triclosan is banned from many products:

“Here’s a good plan. Don’t eat toothpaste.”
Freedom!!!!
trace amounts of this stuff can have an effect. You don’t have to swallow the toothpaste, for the same reason that you can have problems even if you don’t ‘eat the toys’.
I know a lot of folk with gut problems, mostly women. I wonder if something like this could be the cause.
For those who fear Triclosan, just brush your teeth once a month, and you’ll be fine. Your teeth, not so much.
The Brits have nothing to fear.........................
Dial soap had triclosan. Don’t know if it still does.
Colgate removed Triclosan from their Total toothpaste a few years back, is there still any toothpaste in the U.S. that has it?
The FDA allowed Triclosan in toothpaste because the connection between gum inflamation and heart inflamation is well established (bacteria spread through the bloodstream) and it was judged that the benefits outweighed the risk. But that decision came many years ago.
Triclosan isn’t in toothpaste anymore, but there are other ingredients you need to be aware of.
If you’ve been concerned about your toothpaste having triclosan—an antibacterial that helps prevent gingivitis—the good news is that it’s essentially gone from the market, though it’s still technically permitted.May 2, 2019
Most artificial sweeteners have a similar harmful effect on gut bacteria.
Stevia (used in Truvia, among others) is apparently OK, as is monk fruit sweetener.
Maybe it’s in cat toys. No wonder Daisy hates her toys.
It’s only the Environmental Hazards they’re worrying about ,LOL
According to wikipedia this chemical is required to be on the ingredient list. I checked my toothpaste and it wasn’t there. But I found out it has saccharin, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, and cocamidopropyl betaine.
I need to look up those last two.
tetrasodium pyrophosphate: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/npgd0606.html
From the CDC:
Skin:Prevent skin contact
Eyes:Prevent eye contact
cocamidopropyl betaine:
cocamidopropyl betaine shampoo was developed using coconut oil as a base. The mild formula lathered well but wasn’t as astringent as typical detergents. It became the famous “no more tears” baby shampoo. Seems OK.
I thought they took triclosan outta toothpaste, and pit stick, a while ago...
Its not in any of the products I use = I checked.
